Why are Vegans Evangelical?

Extremely low impact body weight exercises
So I came off my bike on Tuesday night on a mountain trail. I have badly jarred and bruised my arm so it is useless. I can't ride and I can't lift weights (I can't do anything with my right arm except hold light things). I spent today being well behaved and lying around the house not doing anything. I am going crazy. I am…

Low Quality meat/fish Vs None at all?
So I bought a kilo bag of Salmon thinking I was great. Realized it is low quality farmed fish. Is it still better to eat it rather than throw it and go for something more high quality? I know I sound wasteful. But I am being very careful about what goes into my body.

Buy A Bike
This is my little bit of advice. I have been floating around here for ages. Every couple of years I get super motivated and log every calorie I eat. Go for walks, take up weight lifting and struggle to lose more than two kg. May this year I have now lost 9! (There is a discrepancy on here because I gained a huge amount of…

Leptin diets & work outs
So I clicked the add for the VFX diet I keep seeing everywhere just to satisfy my curiosity.

Counting Calories when you are sick
So I have been throwing up all morning. I am terribly sick and I really have no interest in eating. Should I still try to hit my calorie goal on a day like today? How does it work if I am throwing up the food? Because logically if you throw it up you haven't processed all the calories.

So how bad is transfat?
It is usually something I avoid because I heard that it is not even a real fat it is a chemical thing. Anyways, I bought a "Healthy" chocolate bar to try from the health food shop while grabbing some Quest bars and today when I was looking at the nutrition panel I realised it has transfat. It says less than 1g but that is…

Very Slow Weight Loss
So over the last five weeks I have only lost 900Grams. I am exercising and eating well. So I am wondering if this could be due to me weight lifting three times a week? Is it likely that I am building muscle while losing fat and because muscle is heavier than fat the losses aren't showing as clearly?

Going over sugar when eating fruit

Hitting Just under Calorie Goals
For the last few days as I have started to eat healthier I keep coming under in calories. Not by much. I hit my protein, fat, sugars pretty well. I am low on carbs and my fiber goes over or under depending on the day. Is it bad that I am under (Usually by no more than 100 Calories.)? I do a fair bit of exercise and I don't…
